Even I was in a state of shock over the sacrifices Ms. Chappelle-Nadal and others have to make for standing tall for their constituents. She mentioned earlier that we all have a “space, a place and a role” and we need to contribute whatever talents we have. Colin Kaepernick, Eric Reid and other athletes have followed the example set by Tommie Smith and John Carlos. It makes me wonder if the rest of us are pulling our own weight and willing to make the sacrifices certain athletes and politicians have made?
